What type of project? What regional settings do you want to retrieve? With MSI, for example, there are UserLanguageID, SystemLanguageID, and ProductLanguage properties that might be of use.

Hi robert,

thanks you for your reply !

i've retrieve the language regionnal settings with script !
my project is a basic msi !

here is it my code :



NumToStr( szLang, LOWORD( SYSINFO.nUserLangID ) );
//szLang contains => 1033, 1040 or it all depends on language

/** SWITCH FOR TO HAVE THE LANGUAGE **/

switch (szLang)

//English
case "1033":
szMsg = "Please close the program before removing.";

//french
..............



I must to do that because when a user remove one of our product the user must be close the program before to remove the product !

thanks you for your information, for your time and so on !

Great product installshield but too big to learn all possibility !!!

As an aside, could you use a string-table entry (which automatically resolves according to language) instead of a switch statement with multiple hard-coded strings?

Hi robert,

Yes but is this possible for my problem !

i must to displays a warning message when someone try to remove one of our products !?

I've search a little perhpas :-) but in help i've find the fonction (SYSINFO.nUserLangID) and i think to do my action with this function will be the right think !

I'm a true beginner with IS !
have you good any solution ?!

Thanks in advvnce

You can create new strings in the string table; each string-table entry has an identifier (which does not change between languages) and a value (which does change for each language).

In your InstallScript code, you should be able to use @STRING_ID instead of a hard-coded string. For example:

MessageBox(@MY_WARNING_MESSAGE, WARNING);

At run time, InstallShield should show the translated value from the appropriate string table.

Oh my good !

i m so null !!!

you know i've try to search how to do that by script and coded some +- 20 lines of codes for that work and you ...just one line and it'"s ok !
